Good morning everyone, I have made a birthday card for a friend today. Thought I would try out one of the background techniques taught by Alyce Keegan in her colouring classes over at Kit and Clowder. What an amazing lady she is!!

To create this card I scored and folded a sheet of A4 grey pearl card to make a 7in x 5in card blank.

After creating my background I cut around the whole image and matt and layered it onto some silver mirror card before adding to my main card using wet glue.

Finally, I added the sentiment on the lower left hand side to complete.

I must admit I am really pleased with the way this background turned out. I used this image because our friend has recently purchased a Skoda Octavia Estate in Silver and I thought he might appreciate this.

Thanks for visiting my blog today and I hope you like what I've created.

Hi everyone, here is a birthday card I have made for our niece's daughter. They went to Disney World at the end of last year and had a fabulous time, so thought I would make a card using some of their memories!

To create this card I scored and folded a sheet of A4 white card to make a 15cm x 15cm square card blank. To this I added a piece of the pink card which had been placed through the embossing folded and then sanded back to reveal the white core.

After colouring my image I die cut her and matt and layered onto some green satin board before adding to my main card using wet glue.

I die cut three of the wild roses and added to the left hand side finishing with some crystal drops in the centre.

Finally, I added the sentiment at the bottom left hand side to complete.

To create this card I used one of the lovely shaped card blanks. I ran the front of the card through the embossing folder and then sanded back to reveal the white core.

I added a piece of pink organza ribbon around the spine of the card. Next I added my chair decoupage to my main card then after colouring my image I fussy cut around her and added her to my card using foam pads.

After printing my image I covered it with drawing gum so that I could work on the background using the Pebeo Acrylic paint. Once the background was dry I rubbed off the drawing gum to reveal my white image which I then coloured and die cut around before adding to my card using foam tape.

Finally, I added the sentiment on the left hand side to complete.

Thanks for visiting my blog today and I hope you like my DT makes for this week's challenge.

To make this card I first of all created the background by daubing various colours onto my glass mat, spritzing with water and then placing my water colour card onto this, pressing down hard. Once this had dried I stamped the flowers using the same colour Aqua pens and used a brush to draw out the colour.

I scored and folded a sheet of A4 white card to make a 15cm x 15cm square card blank to which I added the background using wet glue.

After colouring my image I fussy cut around her and cut the leaves out before adding her to the front of my card.

I added the sentiment to the top left hand side using foam tape and drew a couple of squiggly lines around the edge of my card.
